LG K42 review

This is a cheap dual SIM smartphone with a punch hole touchscreen that you can buy for £162.00. Anyway, the design makes it look like a premium offering. Its LCD display is good but you will have to check if it provides a wider viewing angle because usually, the LED display is much better as compared to the LCD touchscreen.

You will also have to check on the battery backup because it has a decent backup but not so great as it could have been better.

If you are a radio listener then you will miss it in this LG K42 model but the positive is that you get a large screen size which helps you to view and surf content easily and with an inbuilt document viewer you can even do almost of document related work on this mobile.

However, you would also miss the 5G part because it only support one 3G and one 4G network but that is ok for an affordable mobile. The camera setup is also good and it lets you capture the moments nicely that you can show to others as it perfectly manages to click minute details.

To add more style it also has a different wave pattern and the side-mounted fingerprint sensor quickly let you access mobile content and on the same hand, it protects you from unauthorized use.
